Another Genesis HealthCare Disposition
In a move to reduce its debt, raise some cash and focus on its core markets, the beleaguered Genesis HealthCare announced a definitive agreement to sell 23 Texas skilled nursing facilities that comprise 22 owned buildings and one leased. The deal will bring Genesis’ Lone Star State portfolio to one lone leased skilled nursing facility, which the company also plans to exit soon. Assuming both transactions close, Genesis will lose approximately $173.7 million and $7.4 million of aggregate revenue and EBTIDA, respectively. It will also be relieved of about $97 million of indebtedness and $1.8 million of annual cash lease expense, both good signs for the company. New York City-based Regency... Read More »
Another Big Sale For Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors
Fresh off their top spot in our 2017 broker rankings (in terms of number of deals, properties and units/beds transacted), Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors seems to be eyeing that top spot for 2018 too, announcing that it represented a public REIT in its recent disposition of 20 Genesis Healthcare-operated skilled nursing facilities.

These 20 facilities (part of the... Read More »
Sabra Health Care REIT Sells 20 More Genesis SNFs
After already announcing that it has put on the market 35 of its properties leased to Genesis Healthcare, Sabra Health Care REIT has successfully sold 20 of them to an undisclosed buyer for $103 million. The memorandum of understanding with Genesis to market and sell these 35 properties followed Sabra’s merger with Care Capital Properties and was aimed, clearly, at reducing the Sabra’s lease exposure to Genesis. With this deal, which featured skilled nursing facilities in Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana, Sabra’s annual rent from Genesis is reduced by $9.3 million. Plus, the deal is on top of the sale of four other facilities under the memorandum of understanding in the second half of 2017.... Read More »
National Healthcare Corporation Holding Its Own
With all the media attention on financial problems within the skilled nursing sector (and we are guilty of this as well), there are some companies which are doing okay in this environment. One is National HealthCare Corporation, a publicly traded company that keeps very quiet but, with a market cap of $989 million, is one of the largest public senior care companies. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, its average Medicare rate has increased by $6.00 to $459.63 year over year, while its Medicare patient days increased marginally. Meanwhile, it managed care average daily rate (which we assume to be mostly Medicare Advantage) remained flat while the total managed care patient days... Read More »Schedule a demo
